I was heading to work early in the AM and I slid through a totally iced turn.
Hit a huge squared curb head on with both side wheels.

Asked BMW about frame damage 24 hours after they'd had the car, and they quickly said "There's a front and rear frame... The front should be fine, but we need to check the rear." (It's a 2014 328x)

Does this answer jive? What should I look out for? This is going through insurance so shouldn't be any issues with the repairs/costs. They've already told me at least 3 control arms need to be replaced.

Thanks for the input guys!

Sorry to hear about your accident, but I don't think posting this on the next-gen X1 forum is going to bring you much help. Try here: F30/F32/F36 Forum

EDIT: My mistake! Still I'd try the F-series forum though

Were you on all season, summer, or winter/snow tires at the time of the incident?

I hit a patch of black ice coming out of a turn in a residential area yesterday. The back end broke lose but fortunately I was sporting Michelin X-Ice Xi3 studless winter tires on my RWD 335i. I attribute the effortless recovery to the tires. $900 for the tires and installation seemed well worth it in hindsight.
